National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) systematically embeds sustainable commuting into institutional governance through an integrated framework of regulatory caps, empirical measurement, and behavioral incentives. NCKU enforces the statutory "Regulations on the Control of Vehicles Driving on Campus," mandating absolute pedestrian right-of-way and imposing volume controls and tiered access fees on private fossil-fuel vehicles to foster an active-mobility campus. To quantitatively measure commuting behaviors, the NCKU Office of General Affairs partners with the NCKU Student Union to conduct recurring university-wide "Car-Free and Green Mobility Surveys," measuring transport choices across walking, cycling, public transit, and private motor vehicles to inform campus transit planning and emissions reduction targets. Furthermore, the NCKU College of Medicine and NCKU Hospital implement the "YouBike Carbon Reduction Passbook," auditing quarterly cycling counts and carbon abatement metrics through mobile app backend data. Through these complementary initiatives, NCKU establishes measurable pathways toward a safe, pedestrian-first, and low-carbon transport ecosystem.
- NCKU Regulations on the Control of Vehicles Driving on Campus: Pedestrian Priority and Vehicle Caps
NCKU established the statutory "Regulations on the Control of Vehicles Driving on Campus" to enforce sustainable transit discipline and pedestrian safety. The regulations institute a strict quota and permit system to cap external vehicular volume, enforce low campus speed limits, and explicitly codify under Article 12 that motor vehicles must yield absolute right-of-way to pedestrians. Coupled with tiered parking permits and dedicated EV charging management rules, NCKU utilizes regulatory mechanisms to restrict fossil-fuel vehicles and ensure an active-commuter-friendly campus.

- NCKU Campus Commuting Habit Measurement and Car-Free Mobility Survey
To improve the campus traffic environment, enhance safety, and promote sustainable development, the Student Association of NCKU proposed a “car-free campus” policy and conducted a university-wide survey. The questionnaire collected data on students’ and staff’s commuting habits (such as walking, cycling, and using public transportation) as well as their opinions on reducing private car access to campus, while also assessing feasibility and potential impacts. The survey results will serve as a basis for future transportation planning and policy recommendations. This initiative demonstrates that the university not only intends to set sustainable commuting targets but also engages the campus community in an open and transparent manner to ensure that measures meet actual needs, thereby moving the campus toward a low-carbon and safe mobility model.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd08vQU7BcWXGA3u8iheLCnt0O_hzeKzIHFB1V2TD3TCD_TeA/viewform
- NCKU Hospital YouBike Carbon Reduction Passbook: Quantitative Cycling Measurement and Incentives
NCKU College of Medicine and NCKU Hospital launched the "YouBike Carbon Reduction Passbook" initiative, deploying digital monitoring tools to promote active public transit. Integrating backend analytics from the official YouBike application, the platform systematically tracks quarterly cycling frequency, accumulated distance, and verified carbon abatement metrics across personnel. Supported by tiered institutional reward incentives, this project translates individual commuting habits into measurable, auditable decarbonization data, driving tangible behavioral shifts toward low-carbon mobility.https://esg.hosp.ncku.edu.tw/p/406-1110-269597,r2799.php?Lang=zh-tw#gsc.tab=0
